Fluorescence spectrometer
FS5 Spectrofluorometer Edingburgh Instruments
- Multiple detector ports in one fully integrated instrument, measure up to 1650 nm and fluorescence lifetimes down to 25 ps
- >10,000:1 Water Raman SNR, high sensitivity allows for detection of very weak fluorescence signals
- Three detectors as standard, reference detector to correct for light source fluctuations, transmission detector for absorbance, single-photon counting (SPC) detector for ultimate sensitivity
- Plug & Play sample modules, automatic sample module recognition and initialisation saves the user time and effort. Wide range of modules available for varied sample analysis–
